We provide life jackets and survival floatation suits, which provide warmth and floatation. Guests should wear layered clothing. Depending on the time of year and weather, we suggest a wool/fleece sweater, gloves, toque (knit cap), waterproof footwear if windy or wet, rain jacket and pants if you have them, sunglasses, money if able to stop for a break, snack, water, camera, a small bag, a smile, and lots of enthusiasm for adventure!

Guidelines

Due to the nature of the sea, we recommend consulting your doctor should you have any health issues. Inform the captain of any concerns prior to boarding and/or anytime throughout your trip. Call us anytime with any questions or to seek clarification. Guests required complete a waiver during booking.

As seating is limited on our adventure type boats, all seats are the regular price. Our services are non-refundable. Credit can be issued if given sufficient notice to fill seats.
